Council VS.. Western 4 Atlantic

view with Hon. Oscar Il Hundl9.
relative to the hearing o. the OonI
cal suit FIR, s25.O00 dam. 9 IS agalns
the W. d n. r. r. before the lnte
State Commission at Washingto q fSat
urday July 23ld:-
"Mr. Hnndlsy is returned fl ON
Washington, where he has been e, 4
gagged III presenting, befnre the in

case of the Negro. W H Council, who
WIS ,jected FROM a first class coach
and forced into Sc coni class coach
on the Western 4 Atlantic railroad
recently. He was asked what pro nS
ised to be the result of that case
"Ihe question involved in this case"
said the young attorney, SIS that rail
roads should be compelled to
Furnish Colored People
with as good Accommodations IS they
do white people, when they charge
the same tariff. the comolainapt,
Councili, admits thut the roads have
u right to furnish separate cars for
colored people, but that they have no
right to compel Negro to ride IN $

when he had bought firstclass ticket.
The facts in this case were that
Council had first class ticket in
his pocket and was quietly sitting in
the only 6rst class coach, except the
sleeper, that was on train.
He WAS assaulted and elected
from this coach and forced to ride in
a jim-ciow,' or second class car.

OF interest to know how fir the

Huntsville.
From the Mercury.


4 representative of the MERCURY yes.
II tefday afternoon met Mr.. W. P. Wayne
OF Birmingham, who is in the city on q
amission OF the greatest Importance to
huntsville. 1t is evident TO every intel
ligent mind that has thought about the
matter with the facts before it, that no
/, factor contributes so much toward the
uGbWlding of city as manufactures
This has been advocated by the MERcu-
hY for years.
Dr. Wayne is in the city to organize
stamping company to make tin, stamped
ware, Japan, enameled and wire goods,
&c. lie proposes to capitalize his COM
pauy at $4,000, which will operate at
the, store from 55 to 65 hands
huntsville, and we mean by that her
citi zens, can not give too much encour-
agei nent TO this and all other enterprises.
Mr.. Wayne has visited a number of
Southern towns and cities and he is
more pleased with Huntsville than any
point he has seen. He is charmed and
delighted with our city, mountain and
surrounding country. If proper efforts
are made, on the part OF our citizens,
he sees here the nucleus for the queen
city Of the South. He is gentleman OF
critical judgment and he is sound on
Huntsville.
We are gratified to be able to say that
he is meeting with warm encouragement
from our citizens, and we trust they will
give him every possible aid, for thereby |
they will benefit themselves. We must
not, we cannot afford, at this juno
ture of our new life, to let any manufac- |
turing enterprise pass us by. Like rail~
roads and every other enterprise, every |
one brings another This is the secret |
of every city growth diversified indus
tries-and it is the foundation of the
prosperity OF agricultural and all other
interests.
So let Huntsville encourage. foster and
aid every manufacturing enterprise that
comes to locate in our midst Thereby
and only thereby will she become
great city.

CONVICT LABOR.
Its Bad Effects beginning 10 be Felt in
The Brick Making Industries of
Huntsv5Ila

Convict labor when brought into com
petition with paid labor is ever baneful
and destructive. Not until now have we
experienced any OF its evils, and we
chronicle the fact with great regret that
the Huntsville House extension is being
| built with convict made brick imported
here from the convict camp OF Chatta:
hooche, Ga.
OF course our brick makers cannot af-
ford to enter the competitive lists when
convict labor is pitted against them. 1t
is quite different where firms and com
panies pay fair days wages for fair
days work, then competition assumes
healthy interest. But when a number Of
cOnvicts who receive no pay at all and
are compelled to work twelve and four
teen hours per day, then, we say, their
lessees have things all their own way ,and
can laugh competition to scorn.
For years the Hon. Ed. L. Mastin has
kept employed large force of men at
the brick making industry. In winter
as in summer he has looked after them,
for his far seeing judgement OWNED the
fact that Huntsville would improve, and
that there would be no trouble in disc
posing of the building material. So far
as the building boom went his Judgement
was sound, but the idea never presented
itself 20 him Tor indeed to any of u.s. that
our city would be built up with convict
made brick.
We regret to see our industries crush
ed out in this way. Long before the
winter comes Mr.. Mastin will be compel |
ed to close down his works and this will |
deprive men of theil daily toll and force
them to seek elsewhere field where la
Dor is more remunerative. This looks |
like the progress of the crab-very back.

snug nest, He looked at himself all
over very carefully and stretched out
his legs one after another to be sure
that they were all there, and seemed
quite pleased to find that he was 9
whole fiy. He brushed his head with
his fore legs seven or eight times and
polished off his wings with his hind
legs about twelve times and shook HIM
self up in general way good deal,
and then was ready to look around
him. He Numbered about the room
good deal at first for he couldn't re-
member that he had ever seen the place
before, and his wings felt little queer
besides; but finally he found himself
on the rail of the baby's crib. Now,
Tom was an old fly, as you know, be-
cause he lived through one whole Win
ter, and he had had a great deal OF ex-
perience. But his experience did not
do him much good. because he forgot
it so soon; and when he saw the baby
he nearly tumbled over backward in
astonishment Such big eyes and such
teeth and such pug nose and such fat
cheeks! But even if Tom had not for
gotten all his experience he might
have been astonished just the same;
for everybody was astonished who saw
the baby; she was so remarkably
''bright" and ''sweet" and cunning"
| and active and Interesting" and
absorbing" and "enticing'' and dis
tracing and a great deal more. And
| when her father and mother first
looked at her in the morning they
were all astonished too, she seemed so
| very much nicer that she did the night
before.
She was lying on her back, jabbing
| the air with her fat little fists and
making long string of good-natured
cooling noises, but her teeth looked as
if they might bite fly in two without
any trouble, and Tom got away as fast
| as he could and went over to the win
dow. Outside the trees were bare. but
the sun shone bright and warm. and
| there was no snow on the ground.
The sunshine made Tom feel 80 good
that he fell to rubbing his head with
| great vigor, and polished his wings
again and again, and he never in the
least suspected that he was an old fly
which had lived over from the fall be-
fore. But he did not once think of
Dick. If he had been boy or girl he
would have remembered, but being a
fy-well, he was just fly and that
was all. ~ ,t
Tom summed himself in the windows,
and few about the house and fed HIM
self well, and was merry for long
time; but some time in May he disap-
peared, and nobody ever knew what
became of him.-Ken,set Barlo,D, TN ".

USELESS PERSONS.
The Inertia of Motion as Dangerous to Sue
cess as tho Inertia OF Rest.

The Inertia of Motion as Dangerous to Sue
cess tho Inertia of Rest.
An inert person is likely to be use
less person. Motion is not necessarily
progress; action is not necessarily ac-
complishment. One may be as truly
in ert in action as in inaction. Among
philosophers: inertia is that tendency
of matter to remain in the state IN
which it has been put. Once at rest,
it continues at rest; once in motion, 1t
continues with the same motion-untli
acted upon by some external force.
Most persons are troubled with in
.ertia. If they are at rest, they need
some one to rouse them into action. II
they are in motion they need some one
to vary the speed, or change the direc-
ton of. or stop. that motion. He who
waits for an external force to cure his
own inertia, will not be very likely te
be much of force in helping te
cure the worlds inertia By Stacking
your own speed, you may draw some
one else into action. By increasing
your speed you may push some one
else into action. There is no virtue il
motion unless you move something
no virtue in action. unless you &C
non something. If you would be o
,,se in the world, avoid the inertia o
motion as we'll as the inertia of rest :

OCULAR ADVICE.
How the Human Eyes May Be Kept in
ServiceabIe Condition.

How the Human Eyes May Be Kept In
Serviceable Condition.
Never get up in the morning until
you have first opened your eyes, If it
takes you until noon.
DO not walk with your eyes on the
ground; the gravel is apt to wear the
sight off.
Many a young man has a young
woman in his eye, who will effectually
impair his sight the remainder of his
life.
Never throw your eyes suddenly to
the hard pavement; you are likely to
cripple them.
Do not try to look too far into the
the depths of the eyes of the young
lady; it is certain to make you near
sighted.
When people tell you they see mis-
chief in your eyes, you should go to an
oculist and have it removed.
In keeping one eye on your neigh
Dor, you should frequently change the
eye.
know young man who permenent-
Iy injured his eyes by trying to see the
bald spot coming on top OF MS heao-
Some men have glass for an eye
That is bad, but it is worse to have an
eye for the glass.
It's said to be good thing to keep
an eye out" but it is better to keep
two eyes in.
Never strain your eyes in trying tc
see the good you have done in the
| world.
Other great oculists, besides myself
! have asserted that the best thing fol
! ewes is never to call another man
